Chair-leg Slimlines

[JD Combs Sr]

A customer wanted 4 chrome pens made from some old chair parts that had sentimental value for him and his family members. These are the results. Made from a chair leg. Wood appears to be Maple.





I provided him 4 color printouts of this with his pens.

Looks like white ash to me. Nice pens.

I Love seeing Significant Wood being used on a project,
Inparticular the using of the Chair Spindle to fill the Tennon Holes,
Your Fit and Finish is beautiful,
I am sure your client was extreemly happy, a nice gesture to provide him with the photographic copies.
Congratulations,
Brian.

Thanks Joe for looking, I am no expert on wood species especially when it has some age on it so you are probably right about it being White Ash.

Thanks Brian, yes the cross spindle came in handy. The chair parts the customer gave me consisted of at least 3 species of wood. The leg was probably White Ash, the spindle appears to be Hickory, and another piece(not sure what chair component it was is Oak, so I had lots of choices but I thought the leg with the holes filled with the Hickory spindle made the best statement.

I love the start to finish pictures you provided for him! Very nice job and I'm sure they will be very happy with them.

Thanks George, when I get a special order such as something with sentimental value I always try to give the customer something extra such as the fabrication sequence to go along with the project. I do this even for such things as furniture repairs.

Nicely done special memory pens. I love that storyboard idea, great way to lock in the sentimental meaning of the wood.

That is so cool of an idea. They look really great.

Like slim lines and yours are definitely good looking and well finished pens. It's a great memento from the treasured old chair. Great work!
